Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to Moresby Primary School.”
- “They make everyone feel welcome.”
- “They have adults in school whom they can talk to about any worries that they may have.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders have not ensured that staff deliver the curriculum to mixed-age classes as effectively as they could.”
- “This hinders some pupils, including those with SEND, from knowing and remembering more of the curriculum in these subjects.”
